The Spirit contract is gong to take them up to a whooping 4th lowest paid airbus pilots.

Once JB and F9 get contracts Spirit will be the second lowest ahead of allegiant. They are still not going to be able to attract a ton of pilots.

With that said more pilots may pull the cord and jump from the regionals to Spirit, which brings the convo full circle, the 70 seaters will get to expensive to operate because the regionals will need to increase signing bonuses and pay rates to attract pilots and stop the bleeding. Makes bringing the flying in house easier.
